Chapter 228: Yuan Shu's Mission

Ceylon is a larger island south of Tianzhu (India). Located near the equator, it belongs to the tropics. The highlands of Ceylon are very numerous, tea cultivation is prevalent, and pearls are abundant. It has a lot of gem veins.

There is a small country on the island of Ceylon, which is said to be a country with a population of only a few hundred thousand.

Two or three hundred years ago, Cheng Buguo had already begun to trade with the Han Dynasty, exchanging pearls, precious stones and other goods for silk, porcelain, ironware and grain from the Han Dynasty and Funan.

As more and more people join the maritime trade, the port of Ceylon has become an important port on the Maritime Silk Road.

When Meng Bu attacked Chen Liguo, the port of Ceylon, countless people dressed as merchants were waiting for something, and there were often people standing on the high places of the road, looking to the east!

At noon, nearly 100 large ships appeared on the surface of the sea and slowly headed for the port!

The tallest person standing was a Tianzhu man with a slightly dark complexion, and after seeing the big ship appear, he shouted one after another: "Coming, coming, the cargo ship of the Han Yuan Merchant House is here!" ”

The others were all overjoyed, and they said:

"Great, it's finally here!"

"You are just in a hurry, when will Yuan's firm let go of the pigeons!"

"Humph! You weren't in the same hurry! ”

The merchant who had been the first to shout jumped down from a height, and one of them came to his side and asked, in broken Chinese:

"Excuse me; Is this the big ship of Yuan's firm? ”

Tianzhu replied: "Exactly! ”

"What a big ship! The length of this ship, I'm afraid it's more than a dozen steps, right? ”

Tianzhu smiled and asked, "Is it the first time my friend has come to Ceylon?" ”

"Not bad! I am Ross the Tessie. Soon after the formation of the caravan under it. It was the first time I came to Ceylon! ”

"It turned out to be a Tessie merchant. Fortunately, fortunately! ”

"I don't know what Brother Tai is?"

"I'm from Tianzhu in the north, you can call me Nehru!"

"Mr. Nehru; I said the boat was a dozen paces long, why did you laugh at me? Could it be that I am wrong? ”

Nehru patted Ross on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, the cargo ship of the Yuan Merchant House, even the smallest ship, has a hull length of more than forty steps. The larger ones have more than 60 steps, and the big boat that the head of the Yuan family is riding has more than 100 steps, more than 10 steps! ”

"Wow! It's amazing, it's amazing! Compared to it, my small boat, which is a few steps long, is like a windsurfing board! ”

"Friend, don't say it's you, everyone present, who dares to compete with the Yuan family. That's just adding to yourself! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"There is only one fleet of this size in the world! The owner of this fleet. It was founded by the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes of the Han Dynasty, and it is said that the owner of this fleet is a direct descendant of the Yuan family of the Han Dynasty! ”

"I've heard of the Han Dynasty for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful! However, why was there only one fleet in the Han Dynasty? Could it be that there are no other families in the Han Dynasty that compete with this Yuan family? ”

Nehru also knew nothing about the big man, but at this moment, he pretended to say: "You are asking the right person!" In the Han Dynasty, the first-class talents would choose to study and become a scholar, followed by the purchase of fields, farming at home, and the third is to take care of the project.

For the Han people, this going to sea to do business is the lowest industry, and most of the outstanding disciples of the real wealthy families can't look down on it!

As for those small families, even if they wanted to compete with the Yuan family, they couldn't make such a big ship! ”

"Then how did this Yuan family's big ship come about?"

"The head of the Yuan family has a great friendship with the Han military, and these big ships are the ships eliminated by the Han navy!"

Rose exclaimed, "Mom! Such a good ship has been eliminated? Wouldn't the ships used by the Han army be bigger! ”

Nehru made a picture of a veteran and said: "Even if it is eliminated, ordinary people will not get it!" I heard that the warships currently used by the Han army are not only large, but also all made of steel! ”

Rose was shocked again, and muttered, "Unbelievable, unbelievable!" Then he asked: "My friend knows so much about it, it seems that he has a good relationship with Yuan's firm?" ”

"There, there! In Xiameng, the head of the Yuan family is wrong to love, and I am fortunate to have seen it twice! ”

"Disrespectful, disrespectful, when the head of the Yuan family docks, can a friend introduce the younger brother!"

"Well, this one."

"If Brother Xian introduces me to him, when I successfully trade with the head of the Yuan family, I am willing to give 20% of the profits from this transaction to Brother Xian!"

"That's it! For your sake, you will follow me later! ”

"Thank you, Brother Xian!"

……

At this moment, the owner of this fleet, who was at the stern of a hundred-step long luxury ship, looked worriedly in the direction of the big man, and muttered in his mouth:

"I heard that in the imperial court, there have been many ministers who have manifested their Taoism, but my Yuan Shu is still a day travel period of divine cultivation, when will this damn task be the end?"

Yes, this person is Yuan Shu.

A few years ago, several generals stationed in the territory of the Han Dynasty asked to fight, including Yuan Shu!

For this reason, Liu Kun once summoned Yuan Shu to Luoyang and asked him what his plans were!

Yuan Shu said; The Yuan family of the fourth world and the third duke, I am the son-in-law, I have been following in the footsteps of Your Majesty, Your Majesty can't let me mix worse than Yuan Shao, I hope Your Majesty will give him a chance to make great contributions!

Although history's evaluation of Yuan Shu is extremely ironic, there are more reasons; It was Yuan Shu's last act of becoming emperor, and it was criticized by the world! Yuan Shu can be in the era of princes competing for hegemony, and the rumors of chaos are rising, and his ability is undeniable.

Regardless of the rest, Yuan Shu can use the smallest territory, recruit the most soldiers, and make the people under his rule accept it safely, which is the embodiment of ability!

Yuan Shu has believed since he was a child; He is the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao should be the slave of the Yuan family, because Yuan Shao was born to a concubine.

What I didn't expect was that Yuan Shao had always been stronger than him, so Yuan Shu had a knot in his heart, that is, to suppress Yuan Shao!

In the later period, Yuan Shu chose to be the emperor because it had nothing to do with ambition!

Because; At that time, Yuan Shu was already going downhill, and he himself knew that being the emperor was a dead end.

The main purpose of doing this is this; It is to prove to the people of the world; His Yuan Shu is better than Yuan Shao, who is in the land of the four continents!

What can you do if you are on four continents? I, Yuan Shu, became the emperor, but you didn't!

……

Liu Kun has never wasted a talent, there is a job, and he has not found a suitable candidate, since Yuan Shu is willing to make meritorious contributions, it is in line with Liu Kun's intentions.

In order to enable Yuan Shu to carry out the task smoothly, Liu Kun distributed all the hundred wooden ships eliminated by the navy to Yuan Shu and promised him; When the great cause of the unification of the world is completed, at least let him become the pastor of a continent. (To be continued.) )
